Donald Trump's latest insanity is a direct appeal to the conspiracy-minded right wing base, the kind of people who post comments at Breitbart "News." In an interview with Fox News, Trump strongly implied that President Obama either condones or was actually connected to the Orlando shootings. This is the Washington Post ...
